We warm up for an hour with some jogging and stretching, then do drills: high knees, butt kicks, straight-leg running. After, we start with longer runs, just working on conditioning. As the year progresses, it gets more ballistic, more technical." The Recovery: "We may roll out on a softball or lacrosse ball to get all those little aches and pains. After a long run, I go to my massage therapist, my chiropractor, and then take an ice bath. I soak for about 10 minutes—after the first two, you feel numb and it's just so good!"

Rioters On How To Make Time For Reading

One of the questions I get asked the most is “how do you find time to read so much?” I have small kids, a full time job, and a writing habit that I sustain, but reading is one of those things that I need, like water and sunlight. When I stop picking up books, my mental health is affected, so I’ve had to find ways to make the time.

I am also poor, incontrovertibly, humiliatingly poor, for the first time in my life. My total annual income , from a modest pension ($1980) and the interest ($168.75) from an equally modest savings account , is 6 percent of what I earned in my prime-and less than two thirds of the property tax I once paid on a five-bedroom home with swimming pool in Westchester County, New York. I am divorced and living alone in an alien city of 800,000 strangers. My aging body betrays me day by day; the ground I am losing now I lose forever. So I perceived myself, at any rate, when the plane from a foreign country dropped me in San Diego one night seven months ago. Behind me stretched an aimless, six-year, expatriate trail through the South Seas, Asia, and Latin America that began when divorce and its inevitable byproducts-seco...
